DESTIN ATION
A wedding is one of the most anticipated events of life. Brides and grooms plan for months to make sure
their special day creates the memory of a lifetime – and not just for themselves. Ensuring family and friends have a fabulous experience is also a priority for couples, which is why many from across the country are choosing Smith Mountain Lake as their preferred wedding location.
Holly Sweet, who heads up marketing and events at Mariners Landing Resort and Conference Center, said the number of out-of-town couples desiring an SML wedding is definitely on the rise.
“We have noticed an increase in couples choosing Smith Mountain Lake for their destination wedding,” said Sweet. “The SML views are an amazing wedding backdrop, but the central location of Smith Mountain Lake seems to appeal to couples with guests traveling from various cities and states. Plus, it appeals to the guests since they can incorporate a vacation into their visit as well.”
Lori Phillips, event coordinator at Bernard’s Landing Resort and Conference Center, said Smith Mountain Lake is often a happy medium for couples and their guests.
“Anyone would love to get married on an exotic island like Jamaica, but it’s difficult to get everyone there and [requires guests] to spend money on airfare and such,” Phillips said. “SML is easier on the bank account and still makes you feel [like you’re] away from home.”
This year, the Laker’s Wedding Guide includes stories on three out-of-state couples who chose Smith Mountain Lake to celebrate love’s big moment. And, starting on Page 54, is our annual directory of local vendors of wedding-related products and services.

Newlyweds Ashley and Jeff Volpenhein may cheer for rival baseball teams, but it didn’t take long for the couple to become fans of each other.
“We met at a restaurant bar in Charlotte where we were each out with a friend and sat at adjacent tables,” Ashley Volpenhein said. “We kept making eye contact, and then began talking about the Red Sox-Yankees game that was on at the time. He was cheering for the Yankees and I am a big Red Sox fan, so I had to comment.”
The Kansas natives, who both migrated to Charlotte for jobs after college, had already scouted Smith Mountain Lake as a potential wedding site before they even became engaged.
“I grew up coming to SML with my family, and it was the first place Jeff and I traveled to together when we started dating,” Ashley said. “He immediately loved the lake, too, and we would try to visit as often as possible. I always said, ‘How awesome would it be to get married here?’”
During their visits, the couple would often boat past The Water’s Edge Country Club, taking in the sight of lush fairways and golfers on the signature No. 7 island green.
“Jeff loves golf. We both love all that SML has to offer, and when we heard about the renovated chapel on the golf course, we knew that was our dream place to get married,” said Ashley.
Last August, just more than 200 wedding guests traveled to SML to share the couple’s big day.
“We wanted to maintain a simple and classy style for our wedding,” Ashley said. “The Water’s Edge clubhouse was a perfect place for the reception. Everyone enjoyed the beautiful sunset over the 18th green and dancing the night away. Jeff and I left the reception by boat and spent our first night at the LoveStone Inn.”
Smith Mountain Lake definitely made an impression on the wedding attendees, Ashley said. With the help of resources provided by the couple, guests were able to enjoy the lake’s many amenities.
“We made a guest booklet suggesting local attractions and restaurants to try in the area,” Ashley said. “We provided a map of the area and directions to key venues within a gift bag to help with the logistics, though we supplied the transportation to and from The Water’s Edge for the wedding and reception so that guests would not have to drive unfamiliar roads at night.”

On the big day, the bride said everything worked out perfectly.
“It was such a fun weekend for everyone. We still have guests telling us how it was the best wedding weekend ever. We would definitely recommend a destination wedding at SML,” she said.

ABOVE Clockwise from top, bride Ashley LaPorte and her new husband, Michael (third from right), celebrate with members of their wedding party at Bernard’s Landing; the couple’s rings; tables at the outdoor reception complement the color scheme with green and black linens.
A part-time job at a Washington, D.C.-area Target store turned out to be the beginning of something special for Ashley and Michael LaPorte.
“Michael was training me for the job,” Ashley said. “We hit it off right away and started dating three days later. We’ve been together ever since. It was love at first sight.”
Though Ashley’s family moved to Alabama shortly after the couple began dating, the two reunited in Virginia, continuing their relationship while Ashley was a student at Radford University. Both are fond of the water, frequenting North Carolina’s Outer Banks with his family during their courtship. However, a single visit to Smith Mountain Lake was all it took for the couple to become smitten with a different water destination.
“We had been to SML once with his family,” said Ashley. “It was midway between where we were living at the time and where they were in Washington, D.C., so we decided it was the perfect place to spend the day. Once we got engaged, we knew we wanted an outdoor spot by the water. Smith Mountain Lake was absolutely perfect.”
Last August, the couple wed at a waterfront ceremony at Bernard’s Landing Resort and

Conference Center. LaPorte described their traditional wedding as beautiful and meaningful.
“I walked down the aisle with my dad to a string quartet playing ‘The Wedding March.’ We had a unity sand ceremony and gave roses to each of our mothers at the end. The vibe of the reception was classically beautiful. … We watched the sun go down and there was a full moon. It was such a beautiful, magical night,” she said.
LaPorte made sure all aspects of the event were fun and relaxing for the 50 wedding guests. She chose Mango’s Bar and Grill for the rehearsal dinner where friends and family were able to enjoy live music as well as the entertainment and shopping options at Bridgewater Plaza.
“Having a destination wedding for my guests was exciting because they got to travel to a new place, and it was sort of like a mini-vacation,” Ashley said. “They got to hang out at the lake, swim and just have a great time, even after the wedding was over.”
“We watched the sun go down and there was a full moon. It was such a beautiful, magical night.” Ashley LaPorte

Washington residents Christy and Karl Krispin prove love can sur-vive across many miles.
“I was living in New York City at the time Karl and I met,” said
Christy Krispin. “I was on a business trip to Seattle and met friends for breakfast before going home. When I arrived, my friends were chatting with another friend of theirs who happened to be there. That friend was Karl. We kept up a long-distance relationship for eight months.”
The courtship led to a proposal in the Snoqualmie area of Washington in January 2010. Since both bride and groom have connections to Smith Mountain Lake, it wasn’t long before the area was singled out as the wedding location.
“I grew up in Roanoke, and we knew we wanted to get married in that area,” said Christy. “Karl’s older brother worked for Dawn Spencer in Chicago, who later moved to Smith Mountain Lake and bought the LoveStone Inn. She invited us to have the wedding there.”
A description of the venue convinced the couple SML was the perfect place for their nuptials. The bride and groom said their vows last May beneath the LoveStone Inn’s lakeside pergola.
“We wanted it to be a worship service and a family-and-friends affair,” Christy said. “We sang hymns. Ten of our closest friends served communion and we invited any young girls attending the wedding to be our flower girls. We had 12 flower girls total.

Between our two families, we had five clergymen performing different roles in the ceremony.”
Approximately 200 guests from all parts of the country arrived at Smith Mountain Lake for the occasion.
“A lot of my friends made travel plans from Seattle and New York,” Christy said. “Some stayed at Mariners Landing, some rented houses, some stayed in a campground. A lot of them spent the whole weekend at SML and had a good time. Every person who came said they loved the venue.”
The bride, who lived in Seattle during planning, said she relied heavily on SML business owners to make sure all went according to plan. Even the companies that catered the rehearsal dinner and reception were able to accommodate her request to use humanely-raised chicken and fish – a conviction important to the couple.
“It was a perfect day; the happiest day of my life,” she said.
